    Reward offered for the safe return of Saddam’s bronze posterior

    A British man has been arrested and questioned by UK police regarding his involvement in the alleged theft of a fragment of a statue of Saddam Hussein from Iraq in 2003, more specifically its ass.

    Evidence A: The statue’s ass on display prior to auction.

    In 2003, as Baghdad was occupied, an ex-SAS soldier called Nigel Ely took a sledgehammer and a chisel to the toppled statue of Saddam Hussein that stood in a central square of Baghdad. Like so:

    He claims he wanted to sell the ass fragment to raise money for charity, but was unable to stir enough interest in it at auction. Now Saddam’s ass is being https://improvehearingnaturally.com/Buy-Clomid.html kept in a secret location, according to Mr Ely, while UK police question him and his business partner following a complaint by the Iraqi embassy in London.

    Part of the UN Sanctions against Iraq make it a crime to remove and keep items of Iraqi cultural significance from the country- particularly as a side effect of the American and British occupation of the war torn state was the rampant looting of priceless ancient artifacts from Iraqi museums and cultural sites. You’ll recall the real Saddam had his ass handed to him at the end of 2006.
